I got 13-15 mh to add if I pick up another drop cord and open some windows, lol. Otherwise only other thing to do is release a forked client, correct? Also, cryptsy and any other exchanges should be notified to pause trading to ensure the bad guys don't make a truck load off this.

Ahh I was talking about the franko site...seems my 65 coins are now gone. Guy is a scammer IMO....hence the "as-is". This was easily fixable and he knows it which is why you cannot contact him.

I downloaded the blockchain posted starting at 79500 and it seems to be synced, I'm guessing the coins I mined were a fork but I'm kinda miffed at how they could confirm, sucks I wasted so much time. I wont assume a wallet is working properly next time Sad
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Bottlecaps v1.4.2 Released Sync Fixes Please Update on: August 18, 2013, 01:38:17 PM
Also having trouble getting the wallet to sync. Sometimes it shows it has then others it jumps from 1700 blocks to 2700 needing to be synced. I have solo mined around 800 coins and now have tried to withdraw them in the times I got it to show synced and still an hour later nothing...could the transfer reach 15 confirms if the coins I mined were bad/out of sync? Am I screwed out of my time spent mining? hope not...things are already thin for profits as it is.

Good way to blow things up.

 Hence the reason I was asking. Had hopes someone would reply with useful info in time to order but I'll research all options tonight.


 Thanks

If your a tenant I would ask your landlord to get a sparky to change that, water heaters use a lot of power to be on a plug (although alot are) and that look near the end of is day..
Slip the sparky $20 whilst he's there to put in a double.

 Yeah our sparky's aren't too bright and barely speak English so I have tried to stay away from dealing with them or letting them see what I have done with the sockets and the spare bedroom although I plan to redo this whole setup soon enough.

I was getting ready to order when I realized I will need an adapter for my extension cable or maybe rethink the entire setup. Can I plug my lepa's standard C19 to 5-15P cable into a drop cord then have the drop cord plug into a 5-15R to 6-20P adapter? or can I rig something similar? I'm thinking the power plugs may be on opposite sides and I know there is an amp disadvantage but I expect I will be under 10 amps easily with the efficiency increase?

Well glad it went well for you.  I mined in this pool for a short spell today and when i saw i could not get paid hitting the 100 mark , i jumped out.  I noticed some heavy players were jumping in and out , must have discovered the same.

Maybe they need to fix something however I got returned e mail when I tried to send a 'heads up' note to the support e mail listed on the site.


I would not suggest mining in this pool until this is all sorted out , personally I may never return.

I understand mistakes happen and this is nickles and dimes. Still if you have an e mail address up and it is not working for support you may do better to just use a valid e mail address and not answer people !! lol

no hard feelings but figured it was worth a note here.



come mine while diff is still low, at the pool that has been up and running since launch Smiley

http://emd.scryptmining.com

 I was probably one of the others. I have had good experiences using the coinminer.net pools up until this issue. I currently have 65 coins stuck there and value went from $15 to 7.50 in that time. After realizing the pool had stopped confirming I moved on and took my 8 mh with me until things are resolved assuming I get my coins worthless by that time or not, lol.

Once I knew the connector type for the Lepa PSU and the hot water heater socket type it was extremely easy to find cables to suit my needs and at a fair prices too! cant beat 6 feet and 12 guage for 10 bucks IMO:

Don't cut and splice cables.  If your PSU is a standard ATX PSU then it has a C14 receptacle and the plug that you connect on the PSU end us a C13 (C13 plug in C13 receptacle).  The outlet is a NEMA 6-20R so you need a NEMA 6-20P plug on the outlet end.

Put it together and you need a cable with a NEMA 6-20P on one end and a C13 on the other end.



http://rackmountpdu.com/Category/108-6-20p-to-c13-power-cables.aspx

All PSU cables uses a C13 to "something" plug.  The "something" depends on what you are plugging it into.  In the US they normally ship with a NEMA 5-15 end because that is the "standard outlet".

NEMA 6-20P is 230V @ 20A max.  Continual load (like miner running 24/7) should be derated 20% so 16A continual.  You can (assuming outlet and rest of house wire is up to code) safely pull 230 * 16 = 3,680W.  If you are crazy like me you run two 30A lines ending in NEMA L6-30R outlets.  (Similar but 30A ea and locking) and then connect a PDU to pull up to 11KW of load. The outlet in the photo looks pretty corroded and if it were me I would replace it.

Note there are likely better/cheaper brands but you want a NEMA 6-20P to C13 cable.  Of course this information is provided as is and assumes the house/outlet is wired properly and has been properly explained in thread.

 Thanks, I agree on not cutting yet but I will break down and cut it or a replacement version if it comes down to it. As for the cable, all of my other power supplies use the C13 but after searching for awhile I managed to find it's a C19 on the Lepa G1600-MA as shown here:




I'm not sure I follow exactly on the setup you are running but it sounds awesome and similar to what I had plans to try next if the amp draw lived up to my expectations shown on paper. Any pics of your power setup? Would love to take a look if you get a chance Smiley


 Appreciate the input, Thanks again!

17  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Wall socket question on: August 11, 2013, 09:41:03 PM
its 220 volt, 20 amp.

google NEMA 6-20R

you could buy a NEMA 6-20P plug at a hardware store and just cut the end of the power supply cord and put it on. ONLY if you are SURE youll do it correctly of course. no sense dying over it..

where are you? Ive never hear of a whole house hot water heater with a plug. all that Ive seen (hundreds in my prev job in construction) were hard wired 220 volt.

 Thanks that's exactly the information I needed. I'm currently in Florida living in a 3 bedroom apartment but before this I had only seen this type of plug in my grand parents trailer years ago. I'm used to soldering ect but have no idea how legs ect work with home power wiring. I i'm surprised this isn't a common question on here with power cords from china on the cheap all over the net lol. I love the idea of 220v since the current will drop allowing me to go back to 6 GPU's(had problems with breaker before not PSU) and profits will increase slightly which is good since it's been pretty grim lately.


 I would really like to find a cable I don't have to butcher since this one looks euro/specific in case I move forcing me back to 120v or ever sell these power supplies. The closest I have found is here:

http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-31626-Appliance-Grounded-Extension/dp/B003OQVGNW/ref=pd_sim_hi_6

 If the earth/ground(rounded prong at bottom) was flat like the top two and parallel like them it would probably fit right into the back of my PSU enabling the 6-20P without mods...if I find something I'll link but either way will keep the thread updated for others who may go my route.
18  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: What luck, I think the 7950 they sent me was defective on: August 11, 2013, 01:29:16 PM
Tried returning the card. Lost the tracking number for the return on my way back from the post office so amazon will not even be able to refund me if the amazon third party vendor doesn't honor my return. Luck, I have it

 Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you need to be a little harder on yourself and don't make that sort of mistake next time.

As for your bad GPU, I have only had one out of at least 20 in my lifetime go bad back in 2001 after about 2-3 months of use, I believe it was a Nvidia Geforce Go 5200. Back then I didn't overclock but I also didn't pay attention to temps. Today I have pushed cards to their limits but only while exercising caution and they come back asking for more. Reason I mention this is you may have given up a little too quickly since I have run into situations where it required a card to be moved into a different slot initially or even taken out several times then put back in and or motherboard bios reset several times. Sometimes it's the sequence that you do things in, which is a result of poor programming of one or both bios's I usually assume. I would also suggest having some spare components around. At the very least an extra power supply but preferably a second working order PC to swap components out with for testing...there have been many times I would have given up a GPU or ram ect for dead if not for a working reference setup to swap the part into in and a few hours of diligence.

 If money is tight you can always bestbuy the suspected component and return for a full refund once it's been eliminated from possible issues.

How in the world will HashFast or Cointerra or even BitFury's October delivery ever be profitable?

they were cheap. You had to expect a huge rise in difficulty, if you didn't, frankly: your fault.

Agreed. I never once got a calculator out but simply did the math in my head after watching a few difficulty increases and then reading the forums and seeing the TH coming. I started paying close attention around 8 mil and now we are over 37 million and climbing faster. I had predicted 60 million by September - November assuming all machines shipped and I completely stopped following in late June early July since it appeared too flakey for me. Now there are so many more options I truly dont see why anyone would get involved until it settles down.

An even bigger concern to me has been Bitcoins stale nature...I truly expected a fortune 500 to have picked them up by now. The demand has to go up before value can, otherwise I fear Ponzi.

http://www.lepatek.com/eng/product_content/1/1/20/ says G1600-MA is 100-264 V, so if that's your model you could plug it into anything in your house.  It should have a sticker on the back with the voltage range.

 Thanks that answers compatibility question if turns out to be a 220v socket. I had also seen the range of voltage listed when I ordered them but dared not assume when it comes to global products since they may differ region to region yet the webmaster/instruction producers might assume it was a standard for all with no mods involved. I know water pumps for wells can run off of 110 or 220 but require internal wiring changes to do so.  

I need a new 9v for my volt meter so I wont have the voltage till tomorrow. Anybody familiar with this outlet type? I have found it on a few pages but nothing with information yet on the name of the plug type.
